When you pray for France do not forget to pray for that South African lady Sarah Baartman whose body was in French zoos being used as an exhibition. During her living days she was sexually abused and would be forced to walk naked in the streets of Paris and every white mafias would just touch her Body or have sex with her.
In the 1800s, people in London were able to pay two shillings apiece to gaze upon her body in wonder. Baartman was considered a freak of nature. For extra pay, one could even poke her with a stick or finger.
She would be used in lectures as exhibition of how the Body of a Black lady looks like and even today the French people believe the clitoris of a Black women has demons.

After her death, Cuvier dissected her body, then displayed her remains. For more than a century and a half, visitors to the Museum of Man in Paris could view her brain, skeleton and Instruments until she was buried. The rest of Baartman's flesh was boiled down to bones for Cuvier's collection and displayed for years afterward. Baartman's body did not receive a proper burial.

Some psychological thoughts believe that was the beginning of lack of confidence by most Black women.

Do not also forget to pray for the 18000 chopped heads of Africans who were beheaded during French colonization of the Francophone countries. As am writing here these thousands of African bodies are hanged in French Museums as exhibitions of French Colonial supremacy.
